Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the removal of dust from the combustion exhaust gases. More particularly, it relates to a method for the removal of dusts from the combustion exhaust gases of heavy oils by using a fixed packed bed filled with a specific filler.
  • the dusts accompanied with gases may be removed by a mechanical means, such as a filtration with a packed bed filled with a filler having a comparatively small particle size, such as sands, glass beads, alumina particles, or the like.
  • a mechanical means such as a filtration with a packed bed filled with a filler having a comparatively small particle size, such as sands, glass beads, alumina particles, or the like.
  • the pressure loss is comparatively large, and furthermore, the dusts contained in the gases are collected and accumulated in the packed bed, which causes a considerable increase of the pressure loss at the fixed packed bed. Accordingly, it has been considered that the removal of the dusts with a fixed packed bed is not suitable, when a large volume of gases, such as the combustion exhaust gases, should be treated.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method for the removal of the dusts from a large volume of gases, such as the combustion exhaust gases, with a minor pressure loss.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for the removal of the dusts from the combustion exhaust gases by using a fixed packed bed filled with a specific filler.
  • the removal of the dusts is carried out by using a fixed packed bed filled with a spherical, cylindrical or annular filler comprising predominantly a member selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ), ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), sodium oxide (Na 2 O), potassium oxide (K 2 O), or a combination of two or more thereof, preferably aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, or a combination thereof, which contains pores having a pore diameter which ranges from 100 to 70,000A and a pore volume of not less than 0.1 cm 3 /g, preferably at least 20% of the pores have a diameter of not less than 1,000A, and the filler has a diameter of from 1 mm to 15 mm at minimum.
  • the filler may be in a spherical, cylindrical or annular shape.
  • the filler used for the removal of the dusts should have a smaller diameter in comparison with the diameter of the dusts.
  • the present invention is characterized in that larger fillers are used, for instance, when the diameter of the dusts is 0.1 to 100 ⁇ m, the spherical filler has a diameter of from 2 to 10 mm. The reason is that the removal of the dusts in the present invention is effected by absorbing and trapping the dusts in the pores of the filler, but not by screening the dusts with fillers having a smaller pore as in the conventional methods.
  • the fillers when the fillers contain the pores having a pore diameter which ranges from 100 to 70,000A and a pore volume of not less than 0.1 cm 3 /g, preferably at least 20% of the pores have a pore diameter of not less than 1,000A, even if the fillers are far larger than the dusts, the dusts are largely collected in the fixed packed bed (the uncollected dusts are so slight) and further the pressure loss is significantly small.
  • the fillers used in the present invention should contain pores, preferably at least 20% of the pores having a pore diameter of not less than 1,000A, because the fillers containing such large pores can effectively adsorb and trap the dusts of the combustion exhaust gases, which comprise predominantly carbons having a particle size of about 1,000 A at minimum. Accordingly, it is more preferable to use the fillers containing pores preferably at least 15% of the pores having a pore diameter of not less than 10,000 A. When the fillers do not contain those pores having a pore diameter of not less than 1,000 A, the porosity of the fillers is decreased by the dusts adsorbed on the surface of the fillers, which results in the remarkable increase of the pressure loss and therefore the process can not be continuously operated for a long period of time.
  • the fillers used in the present invention should have a pore volume of not less than 0.1 cm 3 /g, the pore diameters of which range from 100 to 70,000 A.
  • the pore diameters of the fillers range from 1,000 to 70,000 A.
  • the combustion exhaust gases such as the gases from a boiler
  • the combustion exhaust gases can be directly introduced into the fixed packed bed, and therefore, it is very convenient to apply to the catalytically reductive removal of the nitrogen oxides with ammonia.
  • the combustion exhaust gases are firstly subjected to the partial removal of the dusts with a multicyclone, and then, introduced into the fixed packed bed filled with the specific filler of the present invention. In such a case, the process can be continuously operated for a longer time.
  • two series of the fixed packed beds are provided in parallel and are alternately operated, that is, when one of them is being utilized, the fillers of the other one are regenerated or exchanged with fresh fillers.
  • the method of the present invention is particularly useful for the removal of the dusts from the combustion exhaust gases of heavy oils, and after removing the dusts, the combustion exhaust gases can be subjected to the catalytically reductive removal of the nitrogen oxides without heating or cooling.
  • the present invention is illustrated by the following Examples but is not limited thereto.
  • a fixed packed bed type dust-removing device is provided at the upper end of the catalyst bed for the selective removal of nitrogen oxides.
  • the used fillers are spherical ones (diameter: 4 -- 6 mm) comprising predominantly aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and contains a large amount (about 60 % on the basis of the whole pores contained in the fillers) of pores having a pore diameter of not less than 1,000 A and a comparatively large amount (about 15 %) of pores having a pore diameter of 10,000 A, and further, the pore volume of the pores ranging from 100 to 70,000 A in the pore diameter is 0.38 cm 3 /g.
  • the filling amount of the fillers in the fixed packed bed is 4,660 liters.
  • the exhaust gas has a temperature of about 300 to 350° C. and is conveyed at a rate of 20,000 Nm 3 /hour.
  • the concentration of the dusts is 45 - 50 mg/Nm 3 at the inlet of the fixed packed bed and 7 - 11 mg/Nm 3 at the outlet of the fixed packed bed.
  • the concentration of the dusts is measured by the method described in JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Z-8808, type I (a cylindrical filter paper made from silica is used).
  • Example 2 The same combustion exhaust gas from a boiler as in Example 1 is treated with the two fixed packed beds which are provided in parallel.
  • the gas flow amount, the temperature of the gas, the concentration of the dusts at the inlet of the fixed packed bed and the filling amount of the filler per one bed are the same as in Example 1.
  • the used fillers are a spherical one (diameter: 3 - 5 mm) comprising predominantly ⁇ -alumina and contains about 20 % of the pores having a pore diameter of not less than 1,000 A, and the pore volume of the pores ranging from 100 to 70,000 A in the pore diameter is 0.40 cm 3 /g.
  • the concentration of the dusts at the outlet of the fixed packed bed is 6 - 10 mg/Nm 3 .
  • the pressure loss at the fixed packed bed is increased from 25 mmAq to 34 mmAq, and then, the gas flow is changed to another packed bed provided in parallel with a damper. After changing the gas flow, the device is continuously operated for about 3,000 hours, and then the pressure loss at the fixed packed bed is increased from 23 mmAq to 28 mmAq.
  • the concentration of the dusts at the outlet of the fixed packed bed is so small as 7 - 11 mg/Nm 3 .
